has anyone considered the possibility that perhaps Apple has made a judgement that the recent resurgence in AI/ML is, (like all of them before, over the past 50 years) overblown, and Apple would rather spend their time and resources on other things?
There's no doubt that the recent advances in deep learning have improved ML/AI in certain specific domains ... but it seems like every 15-20 years or so we see an advance and an accompanying narrative that "AI is back! fully automated future is near!"... which fizzles out, again
Also, Apple has a more humanist tradition than Google, FB, etc, and it's my impression that they value the human element perhaps more.
Sure, there's Siri, but Siri strikes me more like an ongoing experiment than a fully fledged whole hog "let's put all our eggs in this ML/AI basket"
